<Mat2ch>
is that engine supposed to be upside down?
<sandbox>
did you see the animation for how it was supposed to land?
<sandbox>
seemed a bit risky to me
<Mat2ch>
no, I haven't
<Mat2ch>
do you have a link?
<Mat2ch>
(I bet there's a Scott Manley video ;)
<sandbox>
it was in a live video before it landed
<Mat2ch>
oh, ok
<Mat2ch>
didn't see that either

Your spaceplane brings all the Kerbs to the yard, and they're like, "It'll splash down hard." Surprisingly, nothing has yet gone catastrophically wrong.
<Eddi|zuHause>
... yet
<Mat2ch>
hehe
<Althego>
so it is indeed upside down
<Althego>
or wait, it should be on its side where the golden balls (see that in japanese, hehe) are
<Althego>
so compared to that it is just 90 degress off

SLIM landing on the Moon - Onboard camera view

somebody should do some vacuuming on the Moon. Looks dusty there

I guess it landed on a steep slope and tumbled a bit
<Mat2ch>
we've all been there...
<Althego>
the whole lander was totally kerbal with the intentional flipping
<Althego>
and it ended in a kerbal way
<Mat2ch>
the flip is really intentional?!
<Althego>
but if it is only 90 degrees off, if it is not facing completely away from the sun, at some point there might be enough light to generate power
<Althego>
as i said, it is suposed to land on the golden balls
<Althego>
and those are on its side
<Althego>
so slows down, stops a bit above the surface, and then rotates 90 degrees so that the engine bell points sideways
<Althego>
and thenn falls down like this
<Mat2ch>
I wouldn't even do that in KSP.
<Mat2ch>
On the other hand...

You contemplate life as you sit lonely in a KSP forum. No one goes to Minmus anymore, it's too popular.

Unrelated: Infinifactory (the Zachtronics game) is free on Epic
<Mat2ch>
eww, epic
<SporkWitch>
Everyone: If you actually made your app not suck, non-suckers might actually use it. Epic: Hey, we bought some keys to give away, and bribed another dev for exclusivity! Come use our terrible app we'll never make not suck!
<Eddi|zuHause>
all the free games on epic mean nothing if it doesn't run on linux

they couldn't tempt me even with the free GTA5
<SporkWitch>
it's basically a scam anyway, as it doesn't include DLC, and because it's totally broken and lacking functionality, if you ever decide to actually buy on Steam (for it to actually work fully) you're stuck buying EVERYTHING again.
<SporkWitch>
big issue when they were giving away copies of ARK. Whole bunch of people screwed over, bought DLCs on Epic, then find out almost nothing works right because Epic doesn't have replacements for the Steam APIs used for things like non-dedicated servers.
